WHAT OTHERS SAY. 
Sceptic DISAPPROVES OF THE 
NortH SHORE. 
From the Boston Herald of recent 
date we clip the following communi- 
cation: 
“To the Editor of The Herald: 
“Have just been informed that a 
$100,000 club house is to be erected 
here this summer by some of the 
wealthy summer residents. 
“Will somebody please explain to 
me why these people, who have the 
means to go where they please, choose 
this part of the North Shore for a 
summer rendezvous? 
“JT have visited this watering place 
many times in my travels and I| can- 
not understand how these so-called 
people of culture and _ refinement 
came to pick out this particular spot 
in these grand United States. 
“At times the shore from Glouces- 
ter to Beverly is strewn with decom- 
posed fish, which, together with the 
odor of sewerage, is nauseating in 
the extreme. The one road for auto- 
mobiling is crooked and narrow and 
is always clogged with vehicles. 
“The poorest classes in Boston en- 
joy better bathing facilities. Even 
the temperature of the water here 
during the hottest days in summer is 
not conducive to bathing. 
“Will some of your readers kindly 
tell me if there really are attractions 
here for these summer people or do 
these same people cluster not unlike 
the sheep? 
“Harry N, Carrer, 
of Los Angeles. 
“Manchester-by-the-Sea, Jan. 20.” 
And from the editorial column of 
the same day we reprint the following 
comment : 
“In the free forum of our Letter- 
Box, we allow a gentleman from Los 
Angeles to ask this morning why 
people of fashion should throng our 
North Shore, when its facilities for 
enjoyment seem to him essentially 
inferior. 
“He might have made his inquiry 
more comprehensive, and asked why 
people of fashion live where they 
do in any city or country. No one 
supplied with a topographical map 
of Boston and its surroundings wouid 
pick out the Back Bay, flat and wind- 
swept as it is, when he might take 
Savin Hill or City Point. Similar 
anomalies can be found in other 
cities, and in the very location of 
fashionable towns themselves, Why 
is Lakewood? Why was Saratoga? 
Are there not scores of towns in 
New Jersey of vastly greater possi-

“Fashion is its own law. Its decrees 
are cumulative and_ self-enforcing. 
People like to go to the North Shore 
because other people, with whom 
they enjoy association, are already 
there. The ocean may be prettier at 
Revere Beach, but that does not mat- 
ter. Moreover, one is disposed to ask 
our Los Angeles visitor if he has ever 
been over the woods road from Man- 
chester where he writes, to quaint 
old Essex, and if in his own beautiful

coast, there are many strips of high- g G €O. W ° H ooper
